This PR updates unicode.rst so that it refers to PyMem_New instead of PyMem_Alloc, a seemingly non-existent function.
This PR also replaces the PyMem_NEW macro with a direct call to PyMem_New, since pymem.h claims PyMEM_NEW is a deprecated alias, and as far as I can tell, there is no reason not to use PyMem_New instead. The other parts of unicode.c use PyMem_New, not PyMem_NEW.
Here's the PyMem_NEW macro, for reference:
#define PyMem_NEW(type, n) PyMem_New(type, n)
I'm not an expert C programmer however so perhaps I'm missing something.
